I am the mother of two gorgeous young daughters (4 and 1). After the birth of my second child, my family and I embarked upon the mission to relocate from MA to MD to be closer to family. The move was extremely long (about a year) and stressful, and due to eveything we had going on, I not only didn't shed my pregnancy weight gain, but added even more weight.

While things have settled a bit, I am still a Mom, full time worker (with an hour commute each way) and I do all the office work for my husband's landscaping business.

Did I mention that my husband is from Brazil and that he spends the winter's there with his family? Yup...

So, I need to get into shape for my own health, for my kids, and to compete with the Brazilian beauties on the beach when I visit the in-laws.
